Summary

Economic Bonds explores the profound yet often overlooked influence of friendships on our economic behavior. Challenging traditional economic models that assume rational self-interest, the book argues that our social circles significantly shape our financial decisions, career trajectories, and overall economic well-being. It uniquely bridges the gap between economic theory and social psychology, providing a comprehensive analysis supported by surveys, experiments, and social network data. For instance, the book highlights how "keeping up with the Joneses," or peer spending habits, powerfully influence individual consumption patterns.

 
The book progresses by examining three key areas: peer spending, social support during financial hardship, and the impact of friendships on career trajectories. It demonstrates how friendships act as a form of social capital, offering mentorship and networking opportunities that can significantly impact professional success.

 
The insights presented can empower individuals to make more conscious and effective financial choices, understanding how their social connections affect their economic lives. This multidisciplinary approach makes Economic Bonds valuable for anyone seeking to understand the complex interplay between psychology, economics, and friendship.

    Vikki Downey is a spirited author, educator, and entrepreneur, who has lived the unique life of a police wife for over three decades. With no prior connections to law enforcement, Vikki's journey began when her husband, John, embarked on a distinguished career with the Los Angeles Police Department, serving in demanding roles from gang units to the Patrol Rifle/Tactical Shotgun Unit, before an early retirement after 25 years on the job. 
While supporting John's career and navigating the complexities of police family life, Vikki found her own path as a teacher, mentor, and businesswoman. Driven by a desire to offer support and empowerment, she retired herself, early, to focus on her family and assist other police spouses in balancing life's challenges through entrepreneurship, thus reducing the need for risky overtime work. 
Inspired by the support of friends and her passion for making a difference, Vikki authored this, her debut book, Police Wife Survival Guide. Aimed at first responder wives and families, her work is a beacon of hope and solidarity, offering practical advice, encouragement, and a community for those who share this unique life experience. Vikki Downey stands as a testament to resilience, adaptation, and the power of shared stories to uplift and unite.
